““A young person cannot judge what is allegorical and what is literal; anything that he receives into his mind at that age is likely to become indelible and unalterable; and therefore it is most important that the tales which the young first hear should be models of virtuous thoughts.””
Republic • Plato““Did not Atman dwell inside him, did not the primal source flow within his own heart?””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“I quote others only in order the better to express myself. ”
Essays • Michel De Montaigne“The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no universal recipe for living. Each of us carries his own life-form within him--an irrational form which no other can outbid.”
The Practice of Psychotherapy • Carl Gustav Jung“The finest virtues can become deformed with age. The precise mind becomes finicky; the thrifty man, miserly; the cautious man, timorous; the man of imagination, fanciful. Even perseverance ends up in a sort of stupidity. Just as, on the other hand, being too willing to understand too many opinions, too diverse ways of seeing, constancy is lost and the mind goes astray in a restless fickleness.”
Reflections on Literature and Morality • Andre Gide
